baby Old Soles™ sneakers

While we were nearly sold on the cute factor of its name alone, we fell head over heels for this Australian shoemaker's fashion-forward designs. Carefully crafted to give little feet big comfort, each shoe is made of soft 100 percent leather with a padded leather insole and an elastic back. "Pre-walkers" (under 9 months) come with a leather sole, while "first steps" wearers (9 months and up) graduate to a rubber nonslip version, so tumbling tots always stay sure-footsie in style.
